Before politics or pleas of forgiveness, let's talk food: Mayor Rob Ford style. The embattled Toronto Mayor's YouTube show "Ford Nation," premiers next week, but Ford released a 30-second teaser on Thursday.
In the preview clip, the portly politician begins with a sarcastic dig at his equally hefty brother, Doug, about his weight and favorite food.

"Hold on, that's the pot calling the kettle black," Doug says, smirking. Viewers might think Ford is shooting a pilot for a new food show, or perhaps a weight-loss program. But no, in 30 seconds Ford moves from fat jokes to his no-nonsense politics to how he should be judged.
Doug compared his brothers' crack cocaine use to something akin to getting one's hand caught in the "cookie jar."
"When you do that folks, they're coming looking for you," Doug Ford says.
Look for more life-to-food analogies and the Ford brothers' cookie jar next week.
